UN special envoy denounces killing of Arab teen

Robert Serry, UN special envoy to the Middle East, “strongly condemns” the death of 16-year-old Muhammad Hussein Abu Khdeir.

“I recall the Secretary-General’s message: there can be no justification for the deliberate killing of civilians – any civilians. The perpetrators of such heinous acts must be brought to justice. I repeat my call on all sides to do everything they can not to further exacerbate an already tense atmosphere. Our thoughts are with the bereaved family,” he writes in a statement.
